Fifty Years Ago Flood Chaos Drenched Elyria River
Fifty years ago the Black River floods devastated Elyria causing homes to flee, power and gas outages, and bridge collapses along Washington Ave and East River Street. Residents aided by workers as two men warned crowds before a bridge section plunged into rushing water. Bridges, abutments, and roadways suffered, while fish and livestock floated downstream and a winter freeze followed the flood’s aftermath.
